Well, I'm arriving after the battle (french expression) so I just post the answer found on ubuntuforums.org: "reinstall the packages gnome-mime-data, shared-mime-info, and mime-support using synaptic" (thx ComplexNumber).
That's fun because I had the same problem without being able to guess that it was due to my own package. Now if anybody knows why it has done this, please tell me. -- gDesklets on AMD64 Feisty will not start/work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110103 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
